Duterte's Presidency : Expectations, Controversies, Rants, Etc.

[jopoc]

 

Komo ba hindi sya namumudmud ng supot na me bigas, de lata ng sardinas (na expired na) at lucky me, waste of time na sa kanya mahihirap? masyado ka kasi nasanay sa supot politics style nina Erap at Binay. Mudmud ng supot, magkamay habang kumakain kasama ng mga mahihirap basta tutuk camera sayo.

 

1. Ire-revive botica ng bayan gamit pagcor funds

2. Dindagdagan budget para sa 4Ps, at gagawing mas kumprehensibo ito. Kung pwede mabigyan ng rice allowance pa

3. Ilang ibong empleyado ang niregularize, at by 2017 target na matapos ang contractualization

4. Inaasahang makakadagdag trabaho ang mga infrastructure projects na malalaki sa kasalukuyang administrasyon.

 

Ayan mas mainam naman siguro mga ganyan kesa libreng viagra at cake. Pero pustahan tayo, hindi na natin makikitang nagkakamay si Binay kasama ng mahihirap. At lalong hindi natin makikita si Mar, magbubuhat ng sako o magmamaneho ng pedicab maliban na lang kung eleksyon nanaman.

 

Patawa dyan kay Trillanes mo, eh sya itong sabi ng sabi na dagdagan ang benepisyo ng mga sundalo dapat, lalo yun mga sugatan. Nung nagkakaroon naman ng presidente na yan nga ginagawa, sinisiraan nya nanaman. Kelan kaya mag-ma-martsa sa hotel itong sopot na sundalong ito? Sa susunod sa manila hotel naman sya sumugod

 

 

isipin mo si Digong bilang isang basketball team.... say Sixers ng NBA.... ang record nila sa NBA last year at 10-72

 

dahil isa kang loya l fan, ang nakikita mo yung 10 wins.... hindi mo nakikita yung 72 losses...

parang ganun lang yun.

 

 

 

Businessmen head to Palace to defend Duterte admin

For two straight days, businessmen came to Malacañang to defend President Rodrigo Duterte, who continues to be criticized for his tirades against the United States and European Union.

Three businessmen, who also lead influential business groups and associations in the Philippines, were invited to speak about their thoughts on the Duterte administration during Palace press briefings on Tuesday, October 4, and Wednesday, October 5.

Private businessmen are not usually invited to these briefings. Usual guests are Cabinet secretaries or government agency heads.

On Tuesday, the guests were Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industries (PCCI) president George Barcelon and Employers' Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) president Donald Dee.

On Wednesday, the guest was Australian businessman Peter Wallace of the Peter Wallace Business Forum.

Dee told reporters that the perceived close ties of two countries don't necessarily mean more investments.

During previous administrations perceived to be closer to the US than the Duterte administration, US investments in the Philippines did not grow significantly, he said.

"Here's 3 administrations, two of which were close to the Americans and one was very close, so you would expect that, you know, during the time that the very close administration was in place that there would be a big spike, right? Well, it's not. You look at our FDIs (foreign direct investments), it's flat – $7 billion. You look at it, it's flat, almost flat – $7 billion to 7.7 billion," said Dee.

He said what matters to foreign investors is how "friendly" the Philippine economy is to investors, something the Duterte administration is working on in several areas.

Barcelon also pointed out some gains in streamlining business-related government processes under the Duterte presidency.

"We've seen the reduction on bureaucracy in some of the government agencies. And even the local governments have [taken] the advice of the President to simplify the procedures to help the small businesses," he said.

 

 

 

peter wallace is a naturalized filipino. we went through a special naturalization process via congress.... and the sponsor is.... KOKO PIMENTEL.

now you know why loyal faithful ni duterte sya.

So mas mabuti na yun namumudmud na lang sya ng supot supot ng personal kesa gawin yun mga binanggit ko?

 

Hay, basta nga naman madiscredit lang ang presidente o.

 

It works both ways, kung dahil hindi mo gusto mula't sapul presidente at loyal hater ka, kahit ano na lang mabuti naman na nagagawa hahanapan mo ng butas. Kahit yun sinserong efforts lalagyan mo ng innuendo.

 

Oh well, anong hotel naman kaya ang susugurin ni Trillanes sa susunod?

[haroots2]

I really don't get it why would EJK affect foreign businessmen in investing in our country. Unless they plan to make a shabu lab. The admin plans to minimize red tape and speed up all the processing of govt. permits which foreign ivestors will benefits the most.

They will continue to invest as long as they can make money. There are investments in more violent countries like mexico and brazil. Naghost pa nga ng olympics eh.

businessmen are more worried about the international or foreign policies more than the EJK

Digong's EJK is his holocaust of the poor.....

Investors look at the state of rule of law in a country. They look into the consistency of government policy, and whether the government will adhere to its own laws and policy. Because if they're going to invest a ton of money, they want to feel secure that their investments are safe. Linking the administration to EJK affects investor perception. It tells them the government is willing and able to disregard its own laws with impunity. The media coverage on De5 leaves the impression that the administration is ready to stomp out anyone who questions how the war on drugs is conducted.

 

But the EJK issue has spilled over to other matters as well that are more relevant to investors. It is because other nations and international organizations have called out Du30 on the EJK that he is now bad mouthing them and has threatened to cut off ties. This doesn't sit well with investors because the US and some EU countries are big trading partners of the Philippines. When a country wants to sanction or send a message to another, the first salvo is usually economic sanctions. Just by imposing trade restrictions can easily hurt a country's economy. Luckily the US is in the middle of an election season so they're not going to take any drastic action any time soon as there are a good number of Filipinos living in the US. It's really Du30's unnecessary public statements that are hurting the country. I've faced foreign investment analysts who asked me point blank how they should interpret the conflicting statements of the President and members of his cabinet. And take it from me, you wouldn't want to have to answer that question.

Sleight of hand ba... Tinutupad yung dagdag na kita ng mga sundalo at pulis para maging kumpyansa habang bine-baby yung extreme left... Many of our Operational troopers (the shooters in the field) are not that ecstatic about the dagdag sahod when they saw those extreme lefties having dinner with PDuts in Malacanang... Specially on the case of the Tiamzon couple where they did painstaking intel work at a cost of a couple of shooters lives... textbook intel operation, nothing illegal done, no torture, no nothing... after finally bagging the Real Numbers 1 & 2 of the kilusan, makikita lang nila pabanjing-banjing sa palasyo...

 

am no fan of trillanes... as a matter of fact, my family's no fan of both honasan and trillanes and we don't vote for those 2 kasi pamamarisan ng iba... but one thing i agree with trillianes, no need to make any moves, just sit back, grab some popcorn and watch this admin eviscerate itself...

 

Yes the drug problem is important, but it is not the Only important thing... pwede ka naman makipag-okay sa china and russia without giving your traditional allies the middle finger salute...

 

just saying...

Peace and order is one of the important factors in evaluating whether or not to invest specially if it involves FDI since long term yan siyempre gusto nila predictable ang socio political and economic environment.

 

Tumataas ang DUI natin, ibig sabihin nun hindi nasosolve ng kapulisan ang mga kaso ng crime against human. So kamusta ang peace and order situation kung pataas ang murder rate?

[Edmund Dantes]

 

ayan ka nanaman, kung anu-ano ang ipinaparatang sa akin.

 

 

Eh kasi ang nagiging gist ng sinasabi mo, komo hindi pumupunta ng personal pangulo sa mga barangay na mahihirap para samahan sila kumain ng nagakakamay, wala na syang ginagawa sa kanila, at waste of time na. Pero nung binanggit ko naman yun ilang ginagawa sa ilalim ng administrasyon nya, sinubukan mo naman idiscredit gamit basketball analogy

[darksoulriver]

d ko na nagegets si Du30...

 

hindi porket naboto ka ng 16M pahihirapan mo nman yung mga hindi ka binoto!

sabi nga ni duterte at nga mga faithful nya..... pagka presidente ang tinakbuhan nya, hindi pagka diplomatiko....

as if hindi diplomatiko ang isang presidente...... LOL!!!!

[Duel of Fate]

I dunno... all of Digongs antics are somewhat... expected of him. And in all fairness, he is delivering his promise/s. Yun nga lang, are those what we expected from ANY president?

Nasan na ba si Eddie Gil when we need him? Lol!

[bughaw1]

Nasanay kasi tayo sa presidente na walang ginagawa at nagtatago pag may krisis.

[Kapote]

Nasanay kasi tayo sa presidente na walang ginagawa at nagtatago pag may krisis.

Sa totoo lang, sanay na sanay tayo sa serbisyo ng mga tamad dahil ganyan na ang kalakaran simula pa ng sinaunang panahon. Mga pulis na dadating lang sa eksena kapag tapos na at napatay na ng bida ang lahat ng mga kalaban. Sanay tayo na kapag may hostage crisis, yung mga pulis natin na pinapalabas pa sa tv ang ginagawa nilang pagligtas samantalang may tv sa loob ng bus. Mga pulis na dadalin sa isang malaking operasyon para imassacre at walang coordination para sa back-up na matatanggap. Mga serbisyo ng gobyerno na pabalik balik ka at walang katapusang pila habang ang mga empleyado ay naglalaro lang ng angry birds. Silang mga sinalanta at nawalan ng bahay na hindi nabigyan ng maayos na matitirhan. Mga relief goods na imbes na pinamudmod sa nangangailangan pero binulok lang at hinintay maexpire. Sanay na tayo at ayaw natin ng bagong sistema. Puro pinapatay, tambak na ng patayan, umaapaw ang dugo sa kalsada ng maynila. Subalit nasaan ang sigaw nila sa mga pinatay na humihingi lamang ng bigas? Nasaan ang sigaw nila sa mga pinatay na pinaglalaban ang karapatan nila sa lupa? Nasaan ang sigaw nila ng pinapatay ang mga katutubo na pinalayas sa sarili nilang tirahan? Pinapatay... Tinataboy... Ginugutom... Walang tirahan... Sanay na sanay na tayo dyan sa Gobyerno na para lang sa mga mayayaman.

DU30s’ first 100 days – Team Philippines losing

Time for the chuwariwap boys to stop covering up for Team Duterte and start doing their bit for Team Philippines.

[rooster69ph]

tumataas/dumadami ang bilang ng DUI ... hindi ma solve un kaso and yet they are already tag as criminals.

Ang ejk is a breach of contract to life. Meron understanding na universal to respect due process and rule of law. To respect human rights. Kung di niya kayang irespeto ang buhay ng tao, investors would think he will not also honor business contracts.

 

Wow, breach of contract to life..... Masyadong poetic.

 

My former bosses were Europeans and Americans. They don't think the way you described it.

 

They are delaying the decisions to set up business in the Philippines because of the deficiencies in our infrastructure needed to sustain their businesses, not because drug pushers and addicts are being killed.

[red60]

 

 

Granted, but at the other end of the spectrum is the widespread criminality associated with most low-lifes (btw, an overwhelming majority of these ejk victims ARE criminals/have committed crimes and aren't in jail for it) so I think these foreign investors are all for criminals proliferating in the streets.

 

But you also have to consider that many of these so called drug related EJK are not even related to drugs. Just recently Navotas cop got killed in a "shootout" near one of our warehouses in Malabon. According to news reports, there was a shootout between 2 cops. The cop who got killed was holding on to a sachet of shabu and his service pistol. The following day I talked to the kagawad who saw the incident. Apparently the Navotas cop was ambushed then after killing him they put shabu on his hands and put his service pistol beside him para mag mukhang nanlaban. Apparently It's known in the neighborhood that the 2 cops were involved in a love triangle. It was a good thing that many people saw the incident including the kagawad. Kung wala witness malamang yan people will say another drug pusher killed. This is how personal vendettas are being settled nowadays, you shoot someone put drugs and cardboard stating "pusher ako wag tularan". Isip isip din tayo. Not all drug related deaths are actually related to drugs.

Ok, given your scenario. If Drug war is not happening and those crime for passion happened, who will be blamed then? Who will prevent either of them from planting evidence (aside from drugs) and make it look like a legitimate operation? Who will count the dead, or is it just another statistics that will be conveniently forgotten?

He was too stupid to be part of the drug operation. If it was really an ejk I assure you it won't be done that way.

And I think crime of passion will never be eradicated.

kapit mga faithful followers ni digong!

[everyman]

I do not think the EJK per se is the cause of foreign investor apprehension. It is more likely the off-shoot of President Duterte's OA defense of EJK in the country, to the point of insulting and threatening to cut ties with Western powers. I believe the War on Drugs and EJK could have been conducted with less international scrutiny had Big Mouth Digong focused less on his hurt ego. Instead, his headline-grabbing rants invited more international scrutiny of his War on Drugs. Now, instead of the Drug Problem, he has successfully exacerbated the problem to include the nation's security and economic future.

 

Instead of a well-planned approach to our security and economic concerns, the Duterte cabinet is forced to react to Digong's abrupt policy decisions. Tapos pabago-bago pa yung sinasabi ni lolo. Tsk. Uncertainty sa policy decisions, yun ang malaking problema sa paghikayat natin ng Foreign Direct Investments.

 

Putting the blame solely on the country's deficient infrastructure for foreign investor apprehension, given that we all live here in the Philippines, is to put blinders on what has just happened in the last 100 days of the Duterte Presidency regarding our relations with other countries. The past administrations suffered the same problem of infrastructure deficiencies yet managed to attract investments and grow the economy.

Ang ejk is a breach of contract to life. Meron understanding na universal to respect due process and rule of law. To respect human rights. Kung di niya kayang irespeto ang buhay ng tao, investors would think he will not also honor business contracts.

 

I applaud your Idealism when it comes to Businesses and Corporations having any concern when it comes to human rights and all that. But that's not how the world works. Companies and Corporations only care about 2 things. Number 1 which is prioritized above everything else is. Their Bottomline. The earnings, profits. Number 2 would be their reputation. The reason why they care about public perception and the company's reputation is because it affects their number 1 priority which is their bottomline.

 

BPO's exist because of the cheap labor. Why would i pay $10 an hour to someone in the US if i can pay $2-$3 an hour to a third world country. Less pay, more labor, more profit for the company.

 

If it came down to it, US or other companies choose to creat BPO's in the Philippines because they know how to speak English. But if the other countries in asia start prioritizing teaching English in their schools these foreign countries would choose other asian countries over the Philippines if they offer cheaper labor costs than what they're paying the Philippines.

 

I live in the US so i know what goes on around here. The reason why some foreign companies are putting business interests with the Philippines on hold is not only because of the bad press the President is getting. it also has something to do with public perception. Once consumers see these type of things on the news. They are able to dictate to the companies they buy their stuff from, buy their stock etc.. what they would think of the company if they knew that they are known to be doing business with a country that supports these type of killings

 

Same thing that happened to Pacquiao when he said those inflammatory remarks towards the LGBT community. Nike being concerned about the public perception dropped the boxing champ's endorsement deal like a bad habit

 

The companies would then act to prevent any backlash by not associating themselves with the Philippines. If you want to blame someone blame the media for putting the magnifying glass on Duterte. Think about it, if there wasn't any news about these Drug Killings floating around by the media. Business investors would care less if these people were dying as long as its business as usual and their bottom line is satisfied. They gotta worry about the jet fuel they fill their G5's with and also their million dollar homes in the Hamptons.

 

If you think foreign investors make decisions based on human lives. I'm sorry but that is naive to me. They make decisions based on money and public perception that would affect their money.
